4. A living cell is not a simple geometric shape, like a sphere or a cube. What sort of weird cell shape might increase the rati

Answer:

Gabriel's horn

Explanation:

What the question is asking for is a 3-dimensional shape that has a lot of surface area and only a little volume. The first thing I thought of was a geometric figure called Gabriel's Horn. A quick search on Wikipedia will explain better than I can, but basically it has infinite surface area but finite volume. You probably couldn't test the shape in any experiment, though, since it's only theoretical and can't exist in real life.

Let me know if I can explain anything in a clearer way!

Based on this observation you would predict that the MISFOLDED BETA AMYLOID PROTEINS COULD NOT BE REFOLDED BY THE CHAPERONE PROTEINS.
Chaperon proteins are proteins which assist newly formed proteins to form correctly. A protein that is already mis-folded can not be refolded by the chaperone proteins.

HELP
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Photosynthesis produces: <em>glucose </em><em>and </em> O_{2}

                 ...from  CO_{2}, energy (light) and H_{2} O

Respiration produces: energy (ATP),CO_{2}, H_{2} O  

                ....from <em>glucose </em><em>and  </em>O_{2}<em />

<em />

Explanation:

These end products, namely O_{2} and glucose are then used in respiration...

Using energy in the form of solar energy, plants, phytoplankton, algae, and other microorganisms produce chemical energy via photosynthesis. This complex mechanism is central to these species.

They combine light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide.

6CO_{2} + 6H_{2} O + (energy) →C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6O_{2}

In the mechanism of cellular respiration, organisms extract energy from food. Sugars in the form of glucose are broken down into carbon dioxide and water during aerobic respiration in mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

<h3>C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}  _{\to \ 6CO_{2} + H_{2} O + energy (ATP)</h3>

The waste products, CO_{2} and H_{2} O,  result from respiration, these are used as reactants in the photosynthetic process. In turn, its products are the reactants O_{2}  and C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} in respiration.
